futility 

An extremely unintelligent attention whore who enjoys posting radical, unsupported claims on internet fora, then insulting anyone who dares disagree. Sometimes a troll. Frequents www.penny-arcade.com/forums. Takes offense to having his name capitalized.

futility is such troll. Why won't he just give up and die?

Futility Belt 

A belt that is too small to fit around your waist, even after sucking in and squeezing it around your super-fat love handles.

Rachel was going to wear that silver belt I lent her, but after struggling with it for ten minutes she decided that it was a futility belt and wore the brown one instead.

relative futility 

As it pertains to economic "Law of Diminishing Returns", and Maslow
relative futility is the measure of fucks you are obligated to risk on

a useless venture.
This is reached when the odds of a return on the investment = LESS THAN ZERO

The relative futility of meeting an active brain cell in this dump is absolute,

so I save 10 bucks if I PASS on that useless venture!
Karmic return = Finding 8$ STNG Collector's set "Dixon Hill" and "Gloria"
at nerd shop down the street = "SO MUCH WIN"
